More than 1,600 people took part in “No Kings” protests across Flagler County on Saturday, March 28, joining a nationwide day of demonstrations focused on national political issues. Attendance figures were provided by event organizers.
The events were held at three locations throughout the county: Flagler Beach at Moody Boulevard and State Road A1A, Palm Coast at Old Kings Road and Palm Coast Parkway near Island Walk, and at State Road 100 and Belle Terre Parkway near Target.
Protesters gathered with signs and voiced concerns about a range of issues, including government leadership, economic pressures and public policy. At the Old Kings Road location, a handful of counter protesters were also present.
Organizers said the demonstrations were led by local grassroots and political groups, including Indivisible Flagler 50501, the Flagler County Democratic Executive Committee and the Flagler Beach Democratic Club.
Michelle, an organizer with Flagler 50501 who declined to provide her last name due to safety concerns, said the events were meant to bring people together and show that others in the community share similar concerns.
“So essentially in Flagler County, oftentimes folks feel that they’re alone, that they are frustrated with what’s happening in the world,” Michelle said. “And to come together, to be visible, to say, you know what, we’re not.”
She said the goal was to highlight shared priorities among residents.
“We want what you want. We want affordable health care. We want quality schools. We want everybody to get a fair shot,” she said.
Michelle also emphasized the importance of community engagement and visibility.
“I think it’s important so they know that we are community,” she said. “We’re your neighbors and we’re out here and we’re not afraid. We want to be a community. We want what’s good for the community and good for the people.”
In addition to protesting, organizers at one site also collected donations to support an individual currently in immigration custody, highlighting broader concerns about immigration policies and legal challenges.
The demonstrations in Flagler County were part of coordinated protests held across Florida and the country as part of the larger “No Kings” movement.
